Hello all.
I bought a Savage model 64 from big 5 a few months back. It came with a cheap scope for about $170ish. Anyway, the scope loses its zero after every outing, and the rear leaf iron sights are useless because they have way too much play in them. Sometimes they'll be dead on, other times it will shoot nearly two foot to either side at 100 yards.
Before I drop a couple bills on a new rifle, I figure maybe I'll just spend money and replace the rear sight with peep sights like on my M1 Garand. Do any of you have any recommendations? I found this one after a quick google search, but I just wanted some second opinions before I drop the cash on it http://www.midwayusa.com/product/121512/williams-wgrs-54-guide-receiver-peep-sight-savage-anschutz-54-64-141-141m-153-153s-remington-541s-winchester-310-320-9422-most-22-caliber-dovetail-receivers-aluminum-black
